Strode forward to race outside the leader throughout. Dashed up to assume the lead near the 300m mark before continuing on lead all the way to hold three-quarter length advantage on line.

Ridden forward from gate 12 but caught 3 deep without cover just behind leading trio throughout. Cornered under 2L behind before being badly hampered near 200m between runners before closing well to second. (See report).

Lovely run on leaders back throughout. Shifted wider approaching 300m mark before veering out badly, bumping & hampering rivals near 225m. Rebalanced at 150m before closing well to just miss second. (Must trial, see report).

Came across from widest gate to race in midfield, 3 wide with cover throughout. Eased wider on straightening when just over 2L behind before being badly hampered near 200m. Continued to close well late & was just behind 2nd.

Obtained good position in midfield between runners throughout. Entered last section just under 3L from lead, shifted over heels to obtain clear running at the 300m before closing strongly final 150m to be beaten under 1L.

Showed customary early speed to lead. Joined & headed by winner at the 300m mark before boxing away bravely in late stages to be beaten only 1.5L on line.

Bumped after start, had no early speed & drifted back to race third last along rail. Continued in second half, over 5L from lead entering last section before closing off the strongest off all in late stages. Only beaten 2L.

Drifted back to race worse than midfield after start. Raced slightly wide but with cover after first bend when 7L from lead. Shifted to be widest runner on straightening before closing well to midfield but only 2L behind.

Had soft run along the rail two pairs behind lead throughout. Entered last section 3L from the lead, stayed along the rail in the straight but finished off only fairly & was passed by a number of rivals late. (Blood in trachea).

Raced in midfield but was left racing 4 wide without cover from the 1000m mark. Continued wide around bend, straightened 4L from the lead before doing a relatively good job to maintain place & margin in dash to line. Excuse.

Bumped at start before improving position to race in midfield between runners. Shifting down to rail approaching first bend when 4.5L from lead. Shifted wider just prior to straightening before weakening in last section.

Steadied in early stages & shifted back to second last. Shifted wider entering passing the 400m mark when 6.5L from the lead before failing to make any headway in dash to line. Well beaten.

Raced in midfield three deep between runners but with cover. Checked away from heels near the 900m & lost some ground before continuing in second half approaching corner. Made no headway in straight & was second last.
